3
4	Darin De Paul (born November 7, 1963) is a voice actor from New York, mostly known for his work in video games. After a handful of roles in games such as ''VideoGame/SkyLanders'' and ''VideoGame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'', he got quite a bit of attention for his memorable performances as [[BigBad Emperor Valkorion]] in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' and [[WellIntentionedExtremist Samuel Hayden]] in ''VideoGame/Doom2016''. However, it was his role as [[BoisterousBruiser Rei]][[LargeHam nha]][[KnightInShiningArmor rdt]] in ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' that truly [[StarMakingRole shot him to fame]] and made him a household name for videogame fans. And before you ask - yes, he has indeed [[TheOtherDarrin darrined]] people on occasion.

53	!!Tropes associated with Darin De Paul's voice work
54	* EvilSoundsDeep: Especially as Valkorion.
55	* LargeHam: Most of his roles are generally fairly subdued, but Reinhardt proves that when he gets going, ''he can ham it up like no one else.''
56	* PlayingAgainstType:
57	** As Ardyn Izunia; he's admitted that he's not accustomed to voicing such a suave, dramatic villain.
58	** While [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Reinhardt]] is definitely a BoisterousBruiser, his unironic KnightInShiningArmor tendencies are a sharp contrast to the villains and brutes he often voices.
